Chapter 116: Challenge across levels!
Xu Ge glanced at the big slope in front, then looked left and right, and immediately pointed to the left.
"The slope is over 20 degrees, go around to the left!"
"good!"
Kaiyoumu didn't waste any time and immediately took the lead and ran to the left.
Li Dongshui was puzzled and asked breathlessly, "Why don't you go around from the right? I think the right side is closer!"
Xu Ge: "That's your illusion. You think it's closer because the right side is also uphill, but the slope is not so steep, which gives the feeling of being closer."
Hulala.
More than a hundred people behind also rushed over, and the team was instantly divided into three.
Some people choose to rush straight up the slope, while others choose to go around from both sides.
There are no rookies among those who come to participate in the Sirius selection. To be exact, they are all masters.
In less than 5 minutes, the lead of Xu Ge and his two companions was equalized, and more than 20 people who also chose to go around to the left had caught up.
Xu Ge saw many familiar faces among these people. They were all those who had participated in the Warrior Competition together. Chen Wei was also among them and grinned at Xu Ge and the other two.
Facts have proved that Xu Ge's judgment was correct.
After going around the big slope, these twenty or thirty people maintained their lead.
As for the two groups who rushed up the slope directly and those who went around from the right, they had to adjust their pace after exerting huge physical energy, otherwise they would easily be blown away.
More than ten minutes later, a group of tents appeared in everyone's sight.
"Go, brothers!"
"Why are you in such a hurry? We in the first group definitely don't have to worry about not having beds."
"It's better to grab a good seat. I don't want to sleep on the top bunk."
"Fuck, you have a point!"
"Kai Youmu, go and take up three spots first!" Xu Ge shouted to Kai Youmu who was pulling Li Dongshui on the other side.
"good!"
Those who were in the first echelon were all strong men. Immediately, more than a dozen of them accelerated again, including Kai Youmu.
As for Xu Ge, he continued to run wildly while pulling Li Dongshui's bag strap.
Li Dongshui's physical fitness is almost at the bottom among the more than 100 people. It's a life-threatening situation for him to just barely keep up. If Xu Ge doesn't take care of him, he might be easily overtaken by the people behind him.
When it comes to whether or not to be eliminated, everyone is trying their best.
Finally, when Li Dongshui felt that he was about to be strangled to death by Xu Ge's shoulder bag, the end came.
The temporary camp was surrounded by a simple wall made of water barriers. At the gate, several Tianlang members were standing on both sides chatting boredly. Among them was the old acquaintance Wang Long.
When Xu Ge pulled Li Dongshui into the gate, he patted the other's arm, which was considered a greeting.
You know, he was so tired that he could only gasp for breath and couldn't speak.
Xu Ge even suspected that Li Dongshui was deliberately braking in the last paragraph!
Damn, the more I pull, the more resistance I feel.
"Not bad, not bad, keep it up!" Wang Long also recognized the two new recruits and shouted with a smile.
The other team members were curious: "Wang Long, do you know these two people?"
"I know him. The one in front bit me last year. There are still teeth marks on my thigh!" Wang Long was amused and helpless when he thought of this.
Now the others laughed too. "Hahaha, those two guys who threw rocks at you on the mountain, right? These two new recruits are pretty wild, they even made it to our Tianlang selection team!"
Wang Long nodded. "I saw them during the New Year's Eve operation. They must have military merits."
"The new recruits who can come to participate in the selection must be either brave warriors or have special talents!"
Someone else remembered something, "I remember there was a new recruit in the first regiment's Warrior Competition this year who ran a 3.68 second rapid fire. Was that them?"
"Holy crap! That's pretty awesome!"
"If someone even more powerful comes, won't we still get fucked like dogs? Hahaha, I'm kind of looking forward to it!"
Wang Long looked at his watch and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. It's almost time. How many people have entered just now?"
"I didn't count carefully, but there's no need to. Didn't the last five people who didn't get a bed just leave?" said another person.
Wang Long looked at the Gobi Desert and found that only two people were still running towards this side. He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go inside and see what's going on!"
. . .
. . .
"Stop... stop talking nonsense!"
Li Dongshui's voice almost became like a duck, and he hurriedly pulled the shoulder bag strap around his neck, "We're...we're already here! Shit!"
Xu Ge then remembered that he was still holding this guy, so he immediately let go, bent over and gasped for breath, while looking around.
There are three large tents in the camp, all of which are equipped with iron beds. According to Yang Shaojie, there are 36 beds in each tent.
At this time, the people in the first echelon had already occupied their desired positions and were sitting on the beds to rest.
"This way! Come quickly!"
Kaiyoumu shouted from the first tent he entered.
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui rushed in and found Kai Youmu sitting on the outermost bunk bed of the three lower bunks. The two inner bunks were obviously reserved for them.
"Hurry! Make the bed quickly! Tianlang and the others might do something weird again!"
Kai Youmu's reminder immediately moved not only Xu Ge and Li Dongshui, but also other contestants who were resting in the tent.
I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but Xu Ge found that most of the people in this tent looked familiar, and it seemed that they were all in the same group.
"Xu Ge, Li Dongshui, I knew you two would come too!" Chen Wei, who was on the lower bunk opposite, greeted them with a smile.
Xu Ge and Li Dongshui also nodded: "Yes, what a coincidence!"
"Is this guy also from your class? I remember he was the first one to remind everyone to run quickly. Has he been here before?" Chen Wei pointed at Kai Youmu and asked.
"Well, his name is Kai Youmu. The three of us have been together since the recruit company, and now we are in the same class when we go to the next company. Hahaha, isn't that awesome?" Li Dongshui looked very proud.
Now everyone else became interested as well.
"Rookie company? This guy is a non-commissioned officer! Holy shit, is he a second-time enlisted soldier?"
"Don't tell me, he looks familiar to me..."
"Fuck! I remember now! Last time we had a group meeting, this guy went on stage to receive an award!"
Chen Wei immediately remembered what everyone said and looked at the three of them in surprise: "After all this time, it turns out that the three of you are all from the sixth company, ninth class!"
Xu Ge was stunned: "What happened to the 9th squad of the 6th company?"
"Awesome! As soon as they went up to receive their awards, they were all warriors and brave men. They got all kinds of third-class and second-class merits, and even two group second-class merits!"
Chen Wei looked envious, "Our company commander's eyes were red from watching from down there! He was cursing your company commander for having such bad luck, hahaha!"
"The brigade commander even came over to present an award to your squad leader, touching his face and patting his shoulders. Damn! When have we ever seen the brigade commander smile like that? Oh, why didn't I see you two at the time?"
"Oh, we were both on a business trip at the time." Xu Ge said casually.
At this time, another second-term sergeant spoke up, "Let me tell you, Chen Wei, Squad Leader Guo from Squad 9 is no ordinary person. I heard from the battalion commander that when he was young, he dominated the entire brigade and was the all-around champion for seven consecutive years!"
Everyone else was also surprised.
"Holy crap! So fierce?!"
"No wonder!"
"It's obvious that there are three people from the same class participating in the Sirius selection. It seems that you two are the only new recruits this year..."
As everyone was discussing, three figures carrying backpacks rushed in. One of them was a tall non-commissioned officer who loudly asked, "Where are the new recruits?!"
Everyone looked over and saw that the three men were covered in sweat, obviously having just run.
The three of them looked around and saw Xu Ge and Li Dongshui at a glance, and immediately walked over.
"You two, give up your beds! Why are you new recruits here? Come back next year!" The big sergeant said lightly, and threw his backpack on Li Dongshui's bed.
Kaiyoumu kicked the man's backpack to the ground, pointed at his nose and said coldly: "Ha Yamu, believe it or not, I will squeeze your purple hair!"
Chen Wei and his group immediately gathered around, all with unfriendly expressions.
"What the hell do you want to do? Grab the bed, right?"
"Get out of here now, don't force me to beat you up!"
"Fuck! Which regiment are you from? Running here and causing trouble!"
If these people were placed in other troops, they would all be top soldiers and naturally have very bad tempers. When they saw that the new recruits in their regiment were being bullied, they all rushed up without saying a word.
Not to mention that there were four people from the Sixth Company inside, and they started pushing people out as soon as they came in.
The faces of the three men who came later changed drastically. The sergeant in the lead retreated while shouting, "What's the point of you using your numbers to bully the few? If you have the guts, challenge me in a one-on-one fight..."
"Come on, come on, let me challenge you to a duel!" Kai Youmu immediately became excited.
"Count me in!"
"And me!"
"Stop it! What are you doing here?!" With a loud shout, several members of the Tianlang team walked in.
Wang Long first glanced at the three sergeants carrying backpacks and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"us..."
"They arrived last and wanted to steal the new recruits' beds!" someone shouted immediately.
The expressions of several Sirius team members changed immediately, and they all looked at the three people.
One of the sergeants looked at the three with disgust. "Fuck you! I hate people like you the most. You have no ability, but you use your rank to bully the new recruits, right? You can't even run faster than them, how dare you come here and steal their bed?"
The three men's faces flushed red from being scolded. The tall sergeant, fuming with humiliation, shouted with a broken jar mentality, "Who said I can't outrun them? I just ran out of energy while climbing the slope. If I had come from the side..."
"I get it, not only are you a rubbish person, you're also an idiot!"
The sergeant interrupted, "We chose that slope specifically to screen out weak and stupid people like you!"
"Stop embarrassing yourself here! Get out of here right now! Wang Long, check which unit they're from and have their chief officer come and get them!"
"yes!"
The three of them were really panicked this time and tried to beg for mercy, but were forcibly driven out by Tianlang's people.
Joy returned to the tent, and everyone talked and laughed as if they had won a battle.
"Thank you all for your support, hahaha!" Xu Ge and Li Dongshui hurriedly thanked everyone.
After this incident, the relationship between the people in the tent became closer. After making their beds, they all started chatting and talking nonsense.
Li Dongshui sat on the bed, tugged at Xu Ge's sleeve, and whispered, "Just now, the old squad leader said that the steep slope on the road was specially chosen by the Tianlang team. What does that mean?"
Xu Ge: "If you're strong enough, you can just charge straight up the slope. If you're not sure, go around it. As long as you make the right choice, you won't end up at the back."
Li Dongshui suddenly realized, "Then the three of us really don't have the confidence to climb the slope."
Kai Youmu looked at him angrily and said, "Xu Ge and I are certainly confident, but we can't take you with us."
Li Dongshui: . . .
. . .
. . .
Just as everyone was chatting in the tent, shouts were heard outside.
"Each tent should select a temporary captain and gather at the door!"
A second-term sergeant stood up and said, "Then I'll go. Do you have any objections?"
"No!"
"Okay! My name is Zheng Tiannan."
"Captain Zheng, you've worked hard, hahaha!"
It’s that simple, the selection is done in three seconds, and the temporary captain goes out directly.
More than ten minutes later, Zheng Tiannan came in with a form: "Come and take a look, these are tomorrow's assessment items and standards."
A group of people rushed over, and Xu Ge and Li Dongshui immediately made way and walked aside.
"Physical fitness, shooting, integrated tactics, climbing... these are pretty much the same events as the Warriors Competition."
"Yes! What does it mean that there is a minimum standard under each project?"
"The people from Tianlang just explained that if any one of the items doesn't meet the minimum standard, then the total score will not count and you will be eliminated directly!"
"Fuck! Let me see if this standard is high enough?"
"Not bad, that's the excellent level we usually get in our training assessments. We should be able to meet the standards."
Just as everyone was gathered there discussing, Chen Wei turned around and saw two new recruits sitting on the bed, playing with their fingers boredly. He was stunned:
"Why do you two seem so unconcerned about tomorrow's test? Are you planning to just give up?"
Li Dongshui looked up: "Ah? No! We don't have to take the exam tomorrow."
The whole tent fell silent.
Everyone turned to look at Xu Ge and Li Dongshui.
Chen Wei thought he had misheard: "What? No need to take the test?"
Li Dongshui nodded.
"Why?!" everyone asked in unison.
Kai Youmu said unhappily, "They both already got full marks in tomorrow's basic subjects!"
Buzz!
The tent exploded instantly.
"What the hell! Just exempting them from the full score exam? Why?"
"Do you two have such strong backing? You even managed to get through the backdoor into the Tianlang selection?"
"What the hell are you talking about? If you have such a relationship, why would you still want to squeeze into our tent?"
"Yeah, but then why don't they have to take the test? I'm so fucking unbalanced!"
At this moment, Chen Wei seemed to think of something and said loudly: "I know why!"
Everyone looked at Chen Wei again: "Why?"
"Xu Ge's combined rapid-fire shot was 3.68 seconds at the Warriors Competition last time, breaking the record! Li Dongshui ranked first in the sniper training class! This is Tianlang's care for athletes with special skills!"
Chen Wei looked at the two of them and asked, "Am I right?"
Xu Ge didn't know how to explain the real reason, so when he heard the other party say that, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes! That's right, that's it!"
"No wonder!"
Everyone then looked enlightened.
However, although I envy them, they are indeed not at that level in terms of rapid shooting and sniping, so I am not jealous.
Chen Wei looked at Xu Ge and joked, "If you don't take the test, then I'll take first place in the comprehensive rapid-fire shooting competition, okay?"
Xu Ge said indifferently: "The assessment is so tiring, you should keep working hard!"
Li Dongshui turned his head and said with a puzzled look, "Didn't you say last time that you simply liked to be first?"
Xu Ge: ...
"I've already decided to take first place overall in this selection. I'm not interested in first place in any individual event."
Li Dongshui was a little confused: "Aren't they all first? Besides, wouldn't it be easier for you to win a single event?"
Xu Ge suddenly wanted to slap himself, but Li Dongshui's words woke him up.
Yes, even if you get first place in a single event in this selection, it is within the entire brigade and should also meet the requirements of the C-level military order.
But he foolishly set the challenge to take first place in the overall assessment.
Damn it! My cousin has misled me!
Xu Ge now recalled that it was the words that Thor said before he left last night that made him set his sights on getting the first place in the overall selection.
Seeing that Li Dongshui was still looking at him, Xu Ge said unhappily, "My energy is limited. Can I only take first place once at a time?"
Li Dongshui curled his lips and said, "If you don't want to take the exam, then don't take it. You're really good at making excuses for yourself. Who says you can't take first place in both?"
"I said, you can't!"
"Then can't you challenge yourself?"
"Why don't you challenge... Damn! That's right!"
When Xu Ge said this, he originally thought that he only had one chance to challenge C-level, but Li Dongshui's words made him suddenly realize that he had overlooked another thing.
That means this military order can be challenged across levels!
However, since the challenges of the Military Order have always been quite difficult, Xu Ge has already struggled to cope with the current difficulty level, so he has never had the opportunity to try again.
But this time it was different. It was not difficult for him to win the first place in the comprehensive rapid shooting event!
Although I only have one chance left to challenge the D-level, I can definitely challenge the C-level difficulty. After completing it, the system will also calculate the C-level reward!
And the challenge results will be out tomorrow.
When the time comes, you can directly use the 5,000 general proficiency points awarded and continue to improve your strength, then you will naturally be more confident in the open subjects the day after tomorrow!
Once we take first place overall, we will naturally have all the conditions to activate the wartime mode.
Isn’t this getting better and better!
The more Xu Ge thought about it, the more excited he became. He immediately summoned the token and pressed his consciousness on the button of the military order.
[D-level military order requirements: Get first place in any single subject in the regimental unit training assessment, or complete other challenges of corresponding difficulty]
[Confirm the challenge content now]
"The challenge is confirmed to be winning first place in the comprehensive rapid-fire event in the Sirius selection."
[The host's chosen challenge is to win first place in the comprehensive rapid-fire event in the Sirius selection. This challenge is judged to be C-level, a leapfrog challenge.]
[Completing the challenge will reward you with 250 general skill points or 5000 general proficiency points. Failure to complete the challenge will result in corresponding penalties.]
[Host, please confirm whether you accept the challenge of leapfrogging]
"confirm!"
Xu Ge was very excited, it really worked!
[C-level military order is being generated]
[Host, please choose one of the following two versions and read it aloud in public]
Version 1: I (Host Name) solemnly declare that I will guarantee to win first place in the comprehensive rapid-fire event in the upcoming Sirius selection. If I cannot do so, I will not tell a single lie for two weeks.
Version 2: I (Host Name) solemnly declare that I will secure first place in the comprehensive rapid-fire event in the upcoming Sirius selection. If I fail to do so, my team will undergo a week-long internal rectification.
"What's wrong with you?" Li Dongshui and Chen Wei looked at Xu Ge sitting there with a changing expression and asked.
Xu Ge looked at Chen Wei and smiled: "I'm sorry, you won't be able to get first place in the rapid shooting this time."
Chen Wei: ...
Bang bang bang!
Xu Ge stood up and clapped his hands. After everyone looked over, he said loudly, "I, Xu Ge, solemnly declare that I guarantee to win first place in the comprehensive rapid-fire event in the upcoming Sirius selection... Mmmmm!"
Halfway through his words, Kai Youmu and Li Dongshui rushed over to cover their mouths, but Xu Ge still mumbled the second half of the sentence. As for whether others heard it clearly, that was none of his business.
A group of people looked at this side with puzzled faces, wondering why Kai Youmu and Li Dongshui reacted so exaggeratedly. Wasn't it just Xu Ge who was going to announce that he would take the basic subjects? Was it necessary to cover his mouth and not let him finish?
Kaiyoumuk didn't bother to explain to everyone how effective Xu Ge's crow's mouth was. He glared at Xu Ge and asked, "Are you going to say it or not?"
Xu Ge looked at the token, which showed that the military order had taken effect, and quickly shook his head.
The two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Xu Ge, who was almost suffocated to death.
